Formula 1 action shifts to Singapore as the Marina Bay Street Circuit hosts the 18th race of the season on Sunday.

Coming into the race, Max Verstappen is the man in form. The Dutch driver halted McLaren's dominance briefly as he won the last two races -- in Monza and Baku. He is currently third in the drivers' standings, behind McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

With 623 points, McLaren maintains its grip at the top of the constructor's championship, 333 points ahead of second-placed Mercedes.

Verstappen will look to continue the winning streak in Singapore, which is one of the most demanding tracks on the F1 calendar. The narrow bumpy road street circuit and the oppressive heat and humidity present a unique challenge for the drivers.

The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
